Honor Your Gums During Gum Disease Awareness Month!
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile 🦷
Do you know the signs and symptoms of gum disease? Some of the most common include:
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
• Persistent bad breath
• Gum recession or teeth that appear longer
• Sensitivity or discomfort when chewing
Early detection makes all the difference. If you notice any of these symptoms, a professional evaluation can help protect your gums—and your overall oral health.
